@Ron Coates FYI, did you see this thread/poll?................

 

[farouk]

Any more poll votes, ppl?

 

[farouk]

The evidence keeps piling up: e-cigarettes are definitely safer than smoking

@Nancy Do let us know if you find any other interesting resources.

voted a while back: Maybe can vary widely; some benefits to some ppl, problematic to others

So there is a lot of discussion about vaping;

Nothing for Christians to be concerned about.

@VictoryinJesus Sure you can; it may be a screen issue, or else maybe you clicked but it just didn't happen to register, or whatever...

///some benefits to some ppl, problematic to others

@VictoryinJesus Vaping may offer inhale solutions to some ppl, anyway; I'm sure you would agree.

oh dear...or maybe I just put a check mark but never pushed the button that says ‘cast your vote’

It probably doesn't affect you since - unlike some posters - you're not a smoker.

@VictoryinJesus Thanks for the vote which definitely registered this time!

For Christian adults, I think the sensible, matter of fact approach would be: either smoke confidently, or vape confidently or quit confidently...but as for perpetually agonizing and beating oneself up, the Christian life is so busy and full that there's just no time for perpetually agonizing and beating oneself up.

I thought one of the first things to go would be my smoking. But found out there was much deeper things I hadn’t even realized was there, that need to go more than the cigarette. Same with MS ...thought God would heal it and searched scripture for a year for physical healing promises. until it became clear spiritual healing was needed far more than a physical healing. Still think one day soon I’ll be telling you the smoking is history.

@VictoryinJesus Well, you might just find that vaping does help you with inhale solutions. Like it helped your daughter also, right?

 

[farouk]

Maybe can vary widely...

@VictoryinJesus Yes, I'm sure this is true.

PS: @VictoryinJesus

FYI: Did you happen to see @Nancy's post back a bit?

I'm a pretty high strung person, lol and...fidgity - whole family is like that, talk too fast, move too fast. So, it keeps my hands busy and I enjoy it more than I EVER did the tobacco. I have been getting the e-liquid from the same vendor (online) all this time, it's from and made in North Carolina and he puts the ingredients right on the bottle...mine has only 3 and, they are all harmless. I come from a large family of addictive personalities. Both parents smoked until the day they died. All 7 of us kids ended up smokers...now 2 of us vape

Some ppl find vaping does help in easing off cigarettes, anyway. (But I always still reckon with ppl: Don't beat yourself up...)

"I thought one of the first things to go would be my smoking. But found out there was much deeper things I hadn’t even realized was there, that need to go more than the cigarette."

Funny how that works, I too found that the things I thought would be easy are not so much. And, what I thought was impossible...He showed me different, in an instant! How sufficient is His Grace?!!

"Still think one day soon I’ll be telling you the smoking is history."

Amen, and I also hope one day to hear that you are healed of your MS. I have a good friend with MS and I know it is different for many yet, just as bad...symptom wise. God bless and keep you.

@Nancy @VictoryinJesus Do you think that more ppl would quit cigarettes if the taxes on them were raised significantly? and (this is something I don't know so much about) how do taxes compare on vapes?
